| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Very good head and lacing and lasting throughout on this East Sussex Best Bitter, brewed in-land between Seaford and Eastbourne. A dry bitterness on the first bite. A malty bitterness rising and a fruity note or two revealing itself. A dry hoppiness from its Fuggles and Goldings hops playing out. |
| Fonthill - Best | 4.10 | | Good head and lacing but not lasting on this bitter from the in-house brewery. A very dry hoppy bitter first hit. A gentle maltiness rising with a hint of caramel and biscuit. A fruit-infused hoppy bitterness lingering before sailing off. |
| Garage Culture - Session Best | 3.90 | | Good head and lacing and lasting. A dry fruity first bite. A bitter fruitiness leaping up to perform a dry hop-infused dance on my taste buds. The odd grapefruit hint gently rising and lingering. |
| Gun - Zamzama IPA | 6.50 | Not Tried | |
| Pig & Porter - Skylarking | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Fonthill - Flame On - Mango Infused IPA | 5.80 | Not Tried |
